Abstract:
Objectives:To investigate the effects of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and somatostatin in the treatment of acute pancreatits. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups. Group A was patients treated from 1990 to 1994 with traditional non operative methods. Group B was patients treated from 1995 to 2000 with traditional methods plus both TPN and somatostatin. Results: In group B, morbidity, mortality and hospital stay were improved when compared with group A. The serum albumin concentration was below the normal at the beginning and was not different between the two groups. After the treatment of 15 days,the serum albumin concentration of group B was increased significantly and it remained almost the same in group A. Conclusions: Somatostatin and TPN can significantly improve the treatment effects of acute pancreatitis.
